CALL FOR ABSTRACTS/PROPOSALS
38th Annual National Conference
April 8-10, 2010 :: L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, Washington, D.C.
WHO'S COUNTS & WHO COUNTING?
The National Association for Ethnic Studies invites
abstracts/proposals for papers, panels, workshops, or media
productions from people in all disciplines and interdisciplinary
areas of the arts, business, social sciences, humanities, science
and education on politics, community and ethnicity. How do
classifications of race and ethnicity define our lives? How are
they part of our individual and collective thinking? How do they
become statistics? In contrast, how do issues of race and ethnicity
defy demarcation? How do race and ethnicity challenge the interests
and power struggles implicit in shaping definitions?
The conference will create a lively forum for the discussion of
issues related to ethnic communities, including, but not limited to
the following: the 2008 presidential election; American Indian
federal recognition; sovereignty and recognition in a global
economy; counting in the 2010 census; undocumented workers; LGBTQ
rights; unincorporated communities; immigration at the local level;
census and racial/ethnic identities; human trafficking; negotiating
dual citizenships; limited citizenships; redistricting; census data
and its impact on resource access; higher education; student loans;
citizenship; health care by the numbers; philanthropy and ethnic
communities; defining minorities and majorities; affirmative action
issues; defining and supporting art; women's resources; economic
ramifications of census results.
Two-hundred-fifty-word abstracts/proposals should be submitted by
December 1, 2009, which relate to any aspect of the conference
theme, with the participant's institutional affiliation and mailing
address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address. The
abstract/proposal must indicate whether the presentation is an
individual paper or a complete panel presentation and if A/V
equipment is needed.
All program participants must pay full conference registration fees
and 2010 NAES membership dues.
Abstracts must be submitted electronically to:
<http://www.ethnicstudies.org/conference.htm>http://www.ethnicstudies.org/conference.htm
Select the "Submit Abstract" link to proceed to the online submission form.
NOTE: A separate abstract must be submitted for each presenter
(even co-authored papers, roundtable presentations and pre-arranged
panels) with complete contact information. Pre-arranged panels must
include at least three presenters/speakers, but no more than five
and must provide their own panel chairs. Panels with fewer than
three or more than five presenters will not be considered.
Notifications on proposals will be mailed in late fall/early winter 2009.
